Lewis and Harris for history and archaeology lovers

Some of the most remarkable sites are the Neolithic Callanish, Standing Stones, the Iron Age Dun Carloway Broch, a Norse mill and several 19th-century blackhouse villages including Gearrannan and Arnol. Blackhouses are traditional stone houses where crofting families lived to withstand the harsh weather conditions. Arnol still preserves the last standing blackhouse in the village, No. 42, where you can see how they lived a century ago. Thousands of years and history told by the remains of these incredible sites. Come to Lewis and Harris to explore them.
